Steve Burkhart is an Arizona native who grew up in Flagstaff. After a 20-year hiatus in Alaska, where he worked as a psychologist, Steve returned to Arizona when he became an avid mountain hiker and technical canyoneer. For several years, he led Grand Canyon Chapter Sierra Club outings that have included difficult off-trail excursions, bagging many of Arizona’s steep peaks and bush-wacking down its rugged canyons.
